Publisher's Note National Centre for Culture Initiated by the Saint Pope John Paul II 31 years ago, the World Youth Day is a religious festival that gathers in one place hundreds of young people from all over the world. Since 1995, the event has been enhanced with an additional component in the form of a cultural festival preceding the meeting with the Pope. Therefore, it constitutes an excellent occasion to explore both religious and cultural identity of young people from Poland and other parts of the world who participated in the World Youth Day. This publication is based on research studies on the World Youth Day Krakow 2016 in Cracow, conducted under the cooperation of several institutions. The National Centre for Culture invited the Institute for Catholic Church Statistics (ISKK), the Association of Municipalities and Counties of the Lesser Poland Region (SGPM), and the Adam Mickiewicz Institute (AMI) to present their research results. The combination of various research perspectives allowed for drawing up a comprehensive summary illustrating, among others, cultural and religious characteristics of pilgrims attending the World Youth Day, as well as sources of extraordinary engagement level amongst volunteers. This publication also addresses any issues related to the perception of Poland, Poles and Polish culture amongst attendees both before and after their participation in the World Youth Day in Cracow. This report also presented the economic dimension of this event. The above-described research was conducted to gain better understanding of the social phenomenon of the event, in addition to its cultural aspect, particularly in the context of growing terrorist threat. This publication describes the above- mentioned issue in the form of a presentation of pilgrims’ opinions on security and an interview with the Representative of the Government of the Republic of Poland for the Organisation of the World Youth Day. The subject of the World Youth Day is introduced to readers through an extensive section on the history of the event since its very beginnings, i.e. its launch by the Pope John Paul II, up to now. This report also contains information on the reception of the WYD in Polish and foreign media, as well as its presentation in virtual space, which cannot be ignored nowadays. We believe that every reader will find something for themselves in this publication, which can be accessed online for free. As it has been translated into English and Spanish, we are convinced that it may serves as a source of inspiration and practical knowledge for any future organisers of the World Youth Day. We also hope that it will reach all young people who frequently reflect on today’s reality, in which they enthusiastically participate. 10 | Selected ReSeaRch ReSultS | woRld youth day kRakow 2016 Marcin Mazur – photo woRld youth day kRakow 2016 | Selected ReSeaRch ReSultS | 11 1.2. World Youth Day in Cracow Encouraged Engagement Bishop Damian Andrzej Muskus, PhD, OFM General Coordinator, Organisational Committee of the WYD Krakow 2016 in Cracow "This Day has been crafted from the greatness of your work and prayer." said the Pope Francis to the volunteers of the World Youth Day during the memorable meeting at the Tauron Arena in Cracow, just before his return to Rome. The words of the Holy Father should, however, be referred all persons involved in the organisation of the meeting of the youth on the Polish soil. His words should be referred to thousands of young people, their chaplains, parents and educators, parishes that hosted pilgrims, local au- thorities, institutions and organisations, uniformed and medical services, government agencies, schools, religious orders, as well as sick and disabled persons who supported the World Youth Day with their prayers. The World Youth Day encouraged cooperation between people who do not always work together in everyday life. It was a real lesson on how to build bridges between people, on solidarity and selfless service for the common good. The World Youth Day unleashed the extraordinary potential of young people whose voice was heard in the Church on an unprecedented scale. It encouraged happiness, imagination and enthusiasm. Therefore, I have no hesitation in saying that the phenomenon of the World Youth Day does not end with celebrations participated by the Pope Francis, bishops, chaplains and young people from all over the world. On the contrary, it encompasses many months of spiritual and organisational preparations that were packed with unforgettable emotions and experiences. It will also live on in Polish parishes and communities. The World Youth Day celebrated in July was the crowning of this period, true celebration of faith, rejuvenating energy boost for the Polish society and unique experience of the universality of the Church that is living in us, which is multicultural and fascinating, and shows its beautiful face of the youth. It has opened new perspectives and challenges for the future. Spiritual Enhancement We long for the Church and Poland that we could see during these unforgettable Days. Young people managed to build a unity and community despite cultural and national divides. An operator broadcasting the central events in the Błonia Park captured the image of hands clasped during the. "Our Father” prayer: one was white, the other one was black. This view served as the symbolic image of unity and brotherhood between people who, despite their differences, share their faith in Jesus Christ.

    Harkening to the Voices of the “Lost Ones”: Attending to the Stories of Baptized Roman Catholics No Longer Participating in the Worship and Community Life of the Church by Bernardine Ketelaars A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the University of St. Michael’s College and the Toronto School of Theology in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Ministry awarded by the University of St. Michael’s College and the University of Toronto ©Copyright by Bernardine Ketelaars 2015 Harkening to the Voices of the “Lost Ones”: Attending to the Stories of Baptized Roman Catholics No Longer Participating in the Worship and Community Life of the Church Bernardine Ketelaars Doctor of Ministry University of St. Michael’s College and the University of Toronto 2015 Abstract The phenomenon of the decline in church attendance and participation has been widely recognized and a source of concern for many mainline ecclesial communities over the past number of decades. In the Roman Catholic Church, this phenomenon seemed to become more apparent following the promulgation of the documents resulting from the Second Vatican Council. Harkening to the Voices of the Lost Ones invites the reader to enter into the experiences of baptized Roman Catholics who, for whatever reason, no longer participate in the worship and community life of the Roman Catholic Church. Not wanting to presume the reasons leading to this phenomenon, I believe that it is essential to listen attentively to the lived experiences if effective outreach ministry is going to be offered to those who have withdrawn from the Church.

By contrast, music which is popular but perceived as “bad” has generated surprisingly little interest. This dissertation looks at Polish post-socialist music through the lenses of musical phenomena that came to prominence after socialism collapsed but which are perceived as controversial, undesired, shameful, and even dangerous. They run the gamut from the perceived nadir of popular music to some works of the most renowned contemporary classical composers that are associated with the suffix -polo, an expression

  • The Trial of JOSEPH DUMOND of SIGHTEDMOON.COM
    The Trial of JOSEPH DUMOND of SIGHTEDMOON.COM Everyone is asking this, including Joseph Dumond himself. Is THIS stuff true???!!!! Are we crazy like everyone else wants to say we are? Are we way off track? Have we been led astray? HOW do I know if the teachings of SightedMoon are true? HOW do I know if I'm on the right track? HOW can we be sure of this? HELP! HELP! HELP! We're going to begin looking at every facet of Joseph Dumond's teaching as a review. We need to do this to study it out again for ourselves and collectively. Can we build a case from this "court review" of what Joseph has been teaching since 2005 that leads us to Shavuot 2020?s It is my hope that I can lay out each argument (each article of impeachment or article of proof) that brings us to a comfort level to answer the above questions. Yes, this is a play on words in comparing the harassment Joseph Dumond receives to the harassment President Trump receives. I want and encourage questions and feedback from each point addressed. This is not a one-sided teaching. This is two-way. YOU are the DEFENSE Witnesses! In the end, I also hope to have something from this to share on FB and to send to my own family. Maybe someone in “the court” will find the arguments persuasive. Let's build this case to help settle it in our own minds. Shalom. The trial of Mr. Joseph F. Dumond of SightedMoon.com The Prosecution has already presented their case.
